If the air volume through the carbs has been balanced then it would be a A/F mixture variance. ALSO it is possible that the volume draw through the throats of and individual carb are not equal for varying reasons. Sometimes a little gentle tweaking of the throttle shafts can correct this, just be carefull. FWIW the amount of time the engine spends idling is of little significance. As mentioned above, it is when then engine is experiencing load that is of importance.
